for years I've made fun of "conserve water! take short showers!" as California's response to endless drought, citizens taking the heat for hotels and agriculture using the VAST majority of what's left of our aquifer

It’s so cool that cities are like “pweeease only turn your AC on if you’re actively dying and don’t go below 79 🥺🤘🏻💗” while the AI nobody asked for is slurping up the power grid to make 1 image of a girl with 5 tits

My late friend Irene Hahn grew up in Nazi Germany, and I asked her abt it, bc being Jewish, I always wondered how the Jews who did get out in time knew when to leave. This is particularly terrifying bc it's exactly what she said happened when we spoke over a decade ago.
